Released today from Lionsgate is the werewolf film Wolf Moon.
Last Thursday night, at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood, Horroryearbook’s Gary G. and Andrew were ON THE SCENE at the film’s premiere. Written and directed by Dana Mennie, Wolf Moon is the tale of a small southwestern town terrorized by a rash of werewolf murders. It stars an impressive cast of genre veteran’s such as Maria Conchita Alonso, Chris Mulkey, Sid Haig, Lin Shaye, and Billy Drago; alongside up and comers Max Ryan, Ginny Weirick and Chris Divecchio. Horroryearbook was excited about possibly meeting some of our genre heroes, like Mulkey, Shaye and Haig in person.
As Andrew and I pulled up to the Raleigh Studio lot, where the Wolf Moon premiere was being held, we were immediately intimidated by seeing people arriving in tuxedos and expensive cocktails dresses since we both looked like we just got off work, which in my case was the truth. But we soon realized that since Horroryearbook has absolutely no reputation, at least not a good one, to live up to that we could relax and enjoy the ride. As the film’s press agent, Michelle, slyly admitted to us upon arriving, “We know who you are.” Upon which we were immediately directed to the open bar. Clearly our fearless leader, Wil’s, reputation for drunken shenanigans at press events had preceded us. No matter, the open bar really allowed us to loosen up from our initial embarrassment at being completely and utterly unprepared for this event. But kudos to press agent Michelle Czernin von Chudenitz for pretending that we actually mattered while the real press people were out on the red carpet interviewing and photographing the stars of the movie and we sat inside the reception tent slugging glass after glass of Cutty Sark Whiskey, red wine and cocktails. If we had seen the sushi earlier we would have partaken but we were trying to get a load on before embarrassing ourselves.

Set at a small mid-western college during an all night scavenger hunt, Girls Nite Out follows a bunch of sexually voracious cheerleaders who are viciously slaughtered by an intensely bloodthirsty killer, who is disguised as the dancing bear mascot that’s supposed to be cheering the scavengers on. I‘ll repeat just incase the retardedness of it didn’t sink in. The killer is disguised as a giant bear, complete with long, sharp, metal claws.

You really think that the first audiences to be scared shitless by the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre left the drive-in and said, “Wow. I loved how this film commented on the social divide between the crumbling rural backwoods and the invading city dwellers and how the break down of the family structure has forced these backwoods characters to create their own grotesque version of a family. This is fascinating. Lets discuss.” No. No. No.

Horror fans of all ages. I Implore you! Watch out! The EGG-HEADED DESTROYERS are among us and determined to extinguish you and every horror movie you love. They’ve decimated the once vital indie/art house movie scene with their endless overanalyzing and have set their beady, pretentious eyes on what used to be the most unaffected, loose and free genre of filmmaking left. The horror genre. And we are to blame for their infestation of our ranks.
“Lets show them what we can do.”
And with these words Prom Night turns from generic slasher film into camp horror brilliance. You know the story by now; a little girl is pushed out of a window by prankstering kids and six years later the offenders are ritually slaughtered at the senior prom. Prom Night is the quintessential slasher with its crime from the past being righted in the present, bitchy girl, horny boys, unifying event and Jamie Lee Curtis. But Prom Night is really something special.

On the Internet there are many voices in the horror movie review game. Many of them are near worthless in that they repeat the same old sentiments you could get from a Blockbuster Video clerk. So finding an original, fresh perspective on the low budget, horror, b-movie genre is vital to those of us loking [...]
